Space Goat Publishing's Evil Dead 2 comics only acknowledged the events depicted in the Evil Dead II film (with several allusions to elements from Army of Darkness). Once again, the events at the cabin were moved to modern times (2014, in this case) instead of the 1980s.

the theory i heard that has the most plausibility is the ash never even left the cabin. I subscribed to it more because it does feel like ash was trapped in a hellmouth which was the cabin.
